Flamengo return to the field this Thursday (14) to face Vitória in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. Looking to secure a place in the round of 16, the Most Beloved are defending a 12-year streak without being eliminated after winning the first leg.
In the entire history of the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo have won the first match on 59 occasions in two-legged ties. As a result, Mengão advanced in 55 of those cases, with only four eliminations. The most recent one, in fact, came in the tournament semifinals in 2014, when Fla beat Atlético-MG 2-0 in the first match but were then defeated 4-1 in the decisive clash.
The first match between Flamengo and Vitória took place on April 22 at the Maracanã. On that occasion, the Most Beloved won 2-1, with goals from Evertton Araújo and Pedro. In other words, with that win, Leonardo Jardim's team can even draw this Thursday (14) and still secure a place in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.
Flamengo have won five Copa do Brasil titles throughout their history. The first trophy for the Rubro-Negro came in 1990 after beating Goiás in the final. The most recent triumph came in 2024, with Filipe Luís in charge, against Atlético-MG. In addition, Mengão also lifted the trophy in 1990, 2006, and 2013.
The match between Flamengo and Vitória takes place this Thursday (14), in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. The ball starts rolling at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Barradão, in Salvador.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Vitória through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Sportv (cable TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Copa do Brasil match.
